Default help p700 broke

After these changes are made how much run time do give it before you shut it back off.

On ours if I recall we started it back up after messing with the fuses and the lights were still blinking however after we would turn it off for a minut or two and restart it would not be blinking until driving a few feet and it would start again. I think it was like the 3rd time we shut everthing down for a few minuts that it must have reset, because its never been on since.

What about trying to get kawi to let you ship it back to R and D, and giving the guy a new one. I think Kawi might benifit from having to find the problem and make a real fix for it.

We have 4 of these quads and only one of them has ever done this and it has only done it once so far, I still think 1 out 4 for myself is to many. Kawi should be wanting to find a fix. Afterall they build preproduction bikes and destroy them when they are through studding them. They build close to 100 of the P700/STP700's per day. I can't see why it would be such a big dal for them to do something like that on a fairly common problem that sems to be groing. The MFG needs to get involved and lick this thing IMO.

Does Kawi have Field service Reps that could come to your dealership and help sort this thing out?

sometimes after resetting it takes a minute to start blinkling other times it is right away. I even changed the battery.

Lemme get this straight; you have changed ALL the components, it it STILL doesn't work. I would STRONGLY suggest looking over every inch of the wiring harness for damage, and(as earlier mentioned) looking at all grounds, and connectors. If THAT stuff is OK, then the bike HAS no problem, right?
I get this feeling that you aren't telling us the whole story. You said the bike was rolled. HOW BAD? One little roll, or 10 rolls at 40 MPH?????????????? If you are an authorized KAW. dealer, are you working closely with factory support? Where is your dealership, please.

I dont kwow the hole story I was not There all We know is the bikes rack is bent and one grip is tore up. We have been in touch with a kawi tech adviser. Your right next step is the wiring harnes.
